Sex and Meatballs

Have you heard the old proverb “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?” I would imagine the same could be said for a woman’s heart if she is romantically wined and dined.

Valentine’s Day was just celebrated last week by many lovers sharing feasts that tempt the taste buds. I wonder about the biological road trip after dinner from the stomach to the heart that often travels to the finish line by the genitals. Dr. Baccalà’s BGL, Brain Genital Law, is also the pilot of this trip.

I called my sister in California to ask her where her husband was taking her to dinner. She proudly told me she had been in the kitchen all day making his favorite dish, spaghetti and meatballs. Thirty-five years ago, before they were married, she made a special trip to Pennsylvania to meet his Italian born grandmother. They spent hours in her kitchen, without any cookbooks, and my sister learned the treasured family recipe for meatballs and red sauce. Now that’s amore! Her husband proposed not long after that. She has been making those meatballs and gravy for the last 35 years and they are very much in love.

I just learned from another young man in love that he dined out with his sweetheart on Valentine’s Day and meatballs were his preference on the menu. He also told me that Italians were among the first early settlers in Iowa and started many wonderful restaurants. He loves meatballs too.

So I started thinking how seductive meatballs can be. Any time I ask an Italian, male or female, about their special recipe they reply with orgasmic enthusiasm! I once wrote an article about foods that put you in the mood, but I think it is tough to top the sexy meatball!

I have actually been to several charity sponsored meatball contests where the competition is more intense than a death scene in an Italian opera, particularly among the men. Joy, rage, jealousy, love and sorrow are all on stage with the meatballs!

But, I believe love trumps all when it comes to the beloved meatball! So head for the kitchen with your ground beef (with or without veal and pork), your eggs, your breadcrumbs (soaked in milk or water), parsley and whatever other ingredients turn you on (raisins, garlic, onions, basil, oregano, etc.) Hopefully your meatballs will inspire a romantic trip to your bedroom for more pleasure!

It is an infamnia to even think of making meatballs using only beef. Any proud person of Italian culture would surely tell you that you must begin with ground beef, pork and veal.

But I do wholeheartedly concur that meatballs, well made, are incredibly sexy. Most women swoon over men who display the proper talents for making tasty meatballs. I would share my recipe with you Lorenzo, but then I would have to have you killed because my recipe and ingredients present an incredible time-tested aphrodisiac which women cannot resist.

Suffice to say that mine are quite large md or obvious reasons and they exude an aroma, scent and taste that literally attracts females, Italian or otherwise! This of course is based on irrefutable first hand experience.

But, I know this should not surprise you as you have known me for many years. I am sure you remember my ability to woo women because of my sensuous Obo playing ability.

Then too there is the legendary feat I accomplished while on vacation in Canada. There, I successfully negotiated for the release if hostages held by as group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery.

Finally, you recall our research journey years a ago to the Amazon where, single- handidly I was able to successfully defend a small village in the Amazon Basin from A horde of ferocious ants……,using only a hoe and a small glass of water.

As someone noted for building large suspension bridges in his backyard during lunch hours, is it any wonder then That my meatballs……. commonly referred to as simply “Joe’s Balls” are so well respected and coveted?
